So I've searched up and down for the last few days, and I can't figure out who wore this #3 jersey in '06. As posted in the "best deals you've ever got" thread, I found this Portland Beavers jersey at Goodwill last weekend, but can't find any photos of the August 13, 2006 game it was worn in, or a numbered roster from that season. It's a size 40; any ideas?

Additionally, if anyone knows who wore #14 for the Portland Rockies in 1997 (GU cap), I'd also appreciate it.

this program should have it. you might try just asking the seller if he would tell you who wore #3. program is less than $5.

Now that's funny, I literally just sent a message to the seller on this members behalf. Way to steal my thunder. Haha

According to an archived version of the Beavers website, #3 was worn by outfielder Kennard Jones at the end of the year. It also says Jones was called up from AA to Portland on June 1 (where he remained the rest of the season).

What I'll typically do is enter a google search to get the URL of the site, and then just plug it into the archive, and see what dates the page was archived. It can be really hit or miss though.

Much appreciated; I'll have to remember the archive tactic. Actually didn't think of buying a program off eBay either. I went to a lot of Beavers games, but it was as an employee, so programs weren't even on my radar; didn't know they contained roster number. Thanks again to everyone for all the help.

Additionally, I just found who wore #14 for the Portland Rockies in '96. Turns out that Gilbert Vidal wore it; went on COMC, and he happened to be one of the few players with his number visible.
